Change requests nobody estimated, hours nobody invoiced, a client who pays later and later. Adea checks your hours and invoices every night, tells you what changed and why, and gives you the list of what to raise with whom.

Adea learns how each project and each person usually spends their week. It only speaks up when a number leaves normal, not every time someone works late. - **Billable hours this month ** The hours you can invoice, against the hours you work. **1,322 ** - **Projects over budget ** Hours used against the estimate, and how far into the project you are. **3 ** - **Hours not yet invoiced ** Work done that hasn't reached an invoice. It grows quietly. **212 ** - **Invoices outstanding ** What clients owe you, and who pays later than usual. **€37,900 ** - **Days to get paid ** From invoice to money in the bank, per client. **26 ** - **Billable share ** How much of the week goes to client work. **71% ** * *Normal range * *Outside normal Last four weeks ## Ask like you'd ask a colleague. No reports to build. Write the question, and the answer comes in seconds with where it came from. More questions owners ask - Which projects are using hours faster than planned? - Which clients pay later than our terms? - How many hours did we spend on internal work last month? - What did each project earn per hour, all in? Asked in plain words Which clients have the most hours we haven't invoiced yet? The answer Fjord Bryg: 74 hours not yet invoiced, 58 of them change requests. Fjord Bryg ** ** 74 h 58 h of change requests Lunden Tandlæger ** ** 52 h 37 h of change requests Vind Energi ** ** 41 h Campaign, invoiced monthly Kaffe & Co ** ** 28 h 22 h of change requests From your time tracking and invoicing: 212 hours logged since the last invoice of each project, as of 5 October. ## Lists your team works through. When an answer is a group of projects, clients or invoices, Adea turns it into a list that keeps itself up to date. Each row has an owner and a status. - **3 ** in the list today ### Change requests to raise with clients Per client, the hours and the amount, ready for the conversation.

It only reads. - PostgreSQL A user that can only read - MySQL A user that can only read - Google Sheets Sign in and allow reading - Excel and CSV Upload, or connect a folder - e-conomic A read-only API key - HubSpot Coming - Slack Install the app - Microsoft Teams Coming [Every integration](https://adea.app/integrations) ## Questions owners ask ### Can Adea change hours, projects or invoices? No. Adea only reads. It never writes to your time tracking or invoicing and never sends anything to your clients on its own: it makes lists and drafts, and you decide what goes out. ### Our time tracking is a bought-in tool. Does that work? Adea reads databases, spreadsheets and exports, and e-conomic for the books. If your time tracking can give you a database or a regular export, Adea can read it. Write to us with the name, and we'll tell you before you start. ### Can employees see each other's hours and pay? You decide. You can close or mask any column, such as salaries, and choose who sees which projects' numbers. ### How does Adea know a project is slipping? It compares hours used with the budget and with how far into the project you are, and learns what's normal for your projects. It speaks up when a project leaves that pattern, not when someone logs a long day. ## See what Adea finds in your projects. Start for free. No card, and Adea can only read.
